Taxing Our Way To Prosperity

Taxing Our Way To Prosperity

National has received some very loud criticism for suggesting that they will reduce taxes if they are elected into government next month. The intention of the policy is stimulatory, of course, aimed at encouraging people to spend their extra money within the economy. In many ways, this policy is likely

Racing Each Other to the Bottom

Turns out I’m not the only journalist to notice the worrying similarities between Daniel Andrews and Jacinda Ardern. Both are socialists who are slavishly devoted to every fashionable leftist cause. Their inane commieraderie is evident from their giggling, fangirl photo-op during Ardern’s visit last year. And, as socialists

Scott Morrison Thinks an NZ Travel Bubble Could Help

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison seems to be talking the right talk when it comes to potentially opening up some areas of New Zealand with some Australian regions.

Labour’s Bankrupt Ideology Will Bankrupt the Country

What has become very apparent over the last couple of days, and it is stating the obvious, is that the Labour Party are mental degenerates when it comes to running the economy. We are in an economic slump of Grand Canyon proportions and Labour and their mates are so devoid

“Desperate and Reckless”

“Desperate and Reckless”

Jacinda Ardern labelled National’s tax policy as ‘desperate and reckless’, claiming that this is the wrong time to be allowing people to keep more of their own money by making them pay less tax. There is an argument either way, and while I don’t agree with it, the

Money for Nothing and Your Dictatorships for Free

It’s one thing to joke that socialists know nothing about economics and think money comes from nothing, quite another for them to straight-up admit it. Jacinda Ardern is a socialist. That’s not a smear, it’s self-evident in everything from her declaration that “capitalism has failed” to well,

Game On

National has struck a chord with its tax policy. Jacinda describes it as “desperate and reckless”. Lefties on Twitter are catatonic. They are claiming that National is promising people “free money”. Since when has being able to keep a bit more of your own earnings free money? Isn’t it

Unemployment figures are skyrocketing. “More than 60 per cent more people are now receiving Jobseeker Support work-ready benefits than the same time a year ago – and the number of people aged under 24 on the benefit has leapt 80 per cent.” Christie wrote this week about unemployment being the worst

National’s Tax Policy

We cannot tax our way into prosperity. With the economic indicators of the last few days showing that we are in a deep recession and that unemployment is going to rise and remain with us for seven years, we need a government with a plan to grow the economy. Labour’
